ATG Special Report -- reSearcher: The Open Source Solution for Managing Electronic Resources

Abstract

The onerous cost of traditional vendor electronic resource management products have often excluded smaller academic libraries from providing basic services such as OpenURL link resolving, federated searching, etc. At very best, libraries often forsake one service for another, and therefore, are unable to provide the same level of comprehensive research capabilities as larger, well-funded academic libraries. Fortunately for small academic libraries, the zeitgeist of open source software has inspired the Simon Fraser University Library to provide an open source integrated suite of electronic resource management products called reSearcher which has been adopted by a broad spectrum of academic libraries -from research to community college libraries.This session will focus on demonstrating several components of reSearcher as well as describing its implementation. reSearcher's efficacy will also be compared to some commercial offerings
